Happy Friday~
Happy Friday!
Hello May!!! Can you believe this is our last month of school?!
This was an exciting week with multiple field trips, the rain, and the awards assembly.
This week during our Professional Learning Community time, our teachers did a circle activity. The teachers shared how sad it was that they had less than a month with their students. One teacher said, "I am so sad that I have to send them along," as she teared up. It was truly heart warming to hear. So, encourage your students to relish that relationship they built with their teachers and tell them to enjoy their time remaining with their classroom community of students.
We will continue to focus on the IB Learner Profile Attribute of being Reflective.
The IB Learner profile aims to develop students who are reflective. Students who are reflective give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experiences. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development.
IB students have developed an ability to reflect on their learning and to articulate how they learnt. They have learned that critical reflection is an important academic and life skill.

Catch your child being "reflective" and tweet it out @laspositaslions or send them for me to share.
Have a wonderful weekend~
